David Axelrod, who served as a senior adviser to President Obama's presidential campaign, shaved his 40-year-old mustache off on Friday morning's broadcast of MSNBC's "Morning Joe." Axelrod promised to shave his mustache if he was able to raise $ 1,000,000 for epilepsy research.

Axelrod, whose daughter suffers from epilepsy, said he would shave his mustache only if he could raise the money in under 30 days.
